This guide is the way to Zaken: what you need, the road in, and the rules on the way. For the fight itself (skills, weaknesses and drops), see Zaken.
No quest is needed. The castle gate opens when Zaken appears and stays open while he lives.
How to enter
| Step | What to do | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Talk to the Global Gatekeeper in any town, press Teleport to another Town and choose The Town of Giran. Skip this step if you are already in Giran. | 120,000 Adena |
| 2 | Talk to the Global Gatekeeper in Giran, press Teleport to Retail Level up Grounds and choose Devil's Isle. | 200,000 Adena |
| 3 | Walk south-east across the island to Zaken's castle. The gate is on its west side, next to the Corpse of Hutaku. | - |
The gate opens when Zaken appears and closes again when he dies. While he is dead, the castle is shut.
Leaving the castle
There is no exit cube. Walk out through the gate while Zaken lives, or use a Scroll of Escape. After he dies the gate closes, so a Scroll of Escape is the way out.
